Is it known not to run, or merely untested? It looks like every Pine devic= e needs a different configuration. At $200 it is tempting to get one to ex= periment on. Maybe after my current time sink ends in a few weeks. The original message (subject line) reflects a misunderstanding of what "Ti= er 1" means. It means the FreeBSD team will try hard not to break rack mou= nt servers. Tier 1 status doesn't make FreeBSD any more suited to phones t= han Tier 2 status. It doesn't add device or CPU support. See all the diff= iculties with Raspberry Pi. It doesn't add a UI for a small screen. The p= otabi PinePhone project by its own admission hasn't accomplished anything b= ut starting a UI design. But maybe by end of year we can have something th= at works when plugged into a power supply.
